They stopped walking, I strain my ears for any sign of Anna or Dami noticing me, but all I herd was now the two droning on about school work, which almost Did send me to sleep, but before I could dose off I herd something that surprised me,
"Hey Anna," Dami said out of the blue,
"Mmmh?" Anna made a noise of acknowledgement,
"What should we do about Marry?" My dead heart dropped down to my feet,
"What do you mean?" Anna asked, seeming more interested now,
"Well, this town is a huge red zone, there seems to be tons of the uncontainables, and the Simon twins," Dami listed off, I got confused by 'red zone' and 'uncontainables', but I keep listening,
"So.... How does that correlate to Marry?" Anna asked, sounding just as confused as I was,
"Marry is in constant danger, it's our duty to protect the ones who need to be protected and contain the ones who need to be contained," Dami continued, his voice growing more stern, Anna made a noise of considering, "what I'm trying to say is that we may need to protect people better,"
"I can see your point," Anna spoke after a few moments, "but you know it's too late to isolate her, and the Simon Twins have basically claimed her already, she may be unable to be saved,"
"It can't be too late," Dami said finally, seeming more frustrated then stern now, "not when Cora finally is comfortable with someone other then..us.." Dami trailed off, and I suddenly felt a gaze on me, I panic and try to look like I'm breathing slowly, even adding a soft snore.
"No way," I herd Dami mutter, then I herd foot steps heading closer to me, then they where right behind me, "oh shit,"
"Dami language," Anna reprimand, then suddenly I herd a chuckle,
"Look," I herd Dami whisper, then I herd Anna's soft laugh, "wow she actually gave her the bag,"
"See, I told Coraline that she would like a new bag," Anna said, holding back her own chuckle, but then sighed, "should we wake her?"
"Nah, let her sleep," Dami said with a sigh, I waited to hear their foot steps walk away before I sat up, I look down the hall to see the two turning a corner, I rub my temples , great, they are thinking about me now, the people who want to kill me and my apparent colony, perfect.

The last bell rang and I was off like a bullet from the barrel of a gun, I wanted to get home fast in case Madam wanted to drop by again, I turn a corner and suddenly i walked right into a person, I was going to apologize but then I saw who it was, Jeremy, all alone for once, only something is different, his normally pale face was flushed, his eyes seemed almost glassy, and it seemed that he was drooling, "Jeremy are you ok?"
"Oh Marry, I'm perfect, I was just looking for you," he said, his voice thick and dark, it made me nervous, he stepped a bit closer, and then he literally leaned closer to me and sniffed,
"Um what are you doing?!" I ask, stepping back, the twins have like no sense of personal space but this was just to weird, Jeremy smiled,
"You smell so good, like rot and flowers," he said, he took a step towards me again, but before he could even try to touch me I was off, sprinting back towards the school.
When I get back I noticed the Coraline ,Anna, and Dami haven't left, I tried to sneak past them but they saw me anyways, "Marry, you haven't left yet?" Coraline asked, then noticed my worried look on my face, "what's wrong?"
"Oh, uh," I mutter, "Jeremy is acting alittle weird is all,"
"Weirder the usual?"
"Well, that's-" I was interrupted by a body being slammed into me, I turn around excepting Jeremy but instead was a worried looking Jean,
"Marry, I need you to come with me," she said a little sternly, she started to pull me away but Dami's arm grabbed my free shoulder,
"Why?" He asked, glaring down at her,
"I need to keep her away from Jeremy," Jean said bluntly, that seemed to make sense to Dami and Anna, Jean pulled me away before Coraline had a chance to speak.
"What's up with Jeremy?" I ask as the blond girl pulled me to the back of the school, she was very worried looking,
"He is in heat," she said, I nearly fall over, "I'll just keep you out of sight for a few hours then you can go home," Jean said as she pulled me into the girl's showers, we settled down in one of the stalls, there was a lull in the conversation, so I tried to break the silence,
"So... You guys go into... Heat?" I ask, feeling a little awkward,
"Yes, we do every other month, we go crazy from... Needs, then it just melts away after a while," Jean explained, I furrowed my eyebrows,
"what are you guys?" I ask, very curious now, Jean raised her eyebrows,
"We are..... Not human," she completely avoid the answer,
"That is obvious, what are you specifically?"
"We don't have a true name for our kind, we only exist, that's all there is to it," Jean said solemnly , I nearly understood any of that but it looked like that's all I could be from her, so I dropped it,
"So... When do you go into heat?" I ask, Jean almost flushed ,
"Why, do you want to... Help-"
"No, so I can avoid you," I say with a shrug, Jean faltered a bit, but a smile appeared on her face,
"Well, it's very sporadic, so there's no real way to tell," she said, though I had a feeling wasn't telling me the truth,
"Well, it's good to know that something like this could happen again," I said with a shrug, suddenly there was a slam, the door to the girl's locker room was opened and labored breathes could be heard, I cover my mouth to keep the scream in from the door opening, Jean looked stern and ready to fight,
"Marry, are you hiding in here little lamb?" A thick and breathy voice called out, "dear sister don't hide her from me,"
Footsteps got closer, I shiver alittle in fear, then something moved on my shoulder, I look down and see that my hair was moving now, I was going to tie it back but another slam stopped me, Jeremy had slammed the first bathroom stall door open, he would soon get to ours if we didn't move. I look over to Jean who now stood in front of me, I bite my lip when he gets to the stall next to us, I hear a sniff and then a sigh, the door was pushed open slowly, showing Jeremy, his eyes met his sister's, "Sister, it would be wise to move,"
"No," Jean said, that's when she pushed him hard, sending him back and giving us enough room to haul ass out the stall, we made it door of the Girl's shower before I felt a hand on my arm, pulling me back harshly, my hair reacted first, it socked him in the face, everyone froze.
Then a low groan left Jeremy's lips, "Do, Do that again,"
I pulled Jean out the door and closed it, then put a broom in the door handles so he couldn't get out, he started to bang on the door, "Marry, Jean, let me out, I need someone,"
"No, you'll stay in their until you stop acting weird," I say angrily, crossing my arms, I glance over to Jean, who had been quite, she was blushing, I widen my eyes, "your not going into it too are you?!"
"No," Jean mumbled out, "just that punch got me alittle flustered is all,"
"Ah, ok, I guess," I say, "now what?"
"Wait it out," the blond girl said, "it should take only a little while longer, he's been like this almost all day,"
"Huh, I didn't notice," I say while shrugging, the bagging on the door got more violent,
"Marry, open up the door," Jeremy's voice was very labored, "p-please, just open the door,"
"Not until you cool down," I say, I notice fingers start to poke between the doors, I acted before I could think and I pressed the doors closed, then a very loud moan was here's from the other side of the door, then a odd sound came from the other side, like spit hitting the floor, before everything got quite.
"You can let me out now," Jeremy said, sounding normal, I glance over to Jean, who nodded, I pull the broom from the door handles, letting Jeremy push through the doors, he was sweaty and it looked like he was still out of breath, "Marry, I'm sorry,"
"It's fine, just don't motion it ever again," I say, he nodded and Jean face palmed,
"We can go home now," she said, pulling her brother away, leaving me in the hallway, I glance out the windows, it was dark out, I sigh and head for a exit door.
